The presence of two spectral mechanisms, near-ultraviolet and green (lambda(max)=545nm), is strongly suggested by electroretinographic visual spectral sensitivity curves obtained under dark and red chromatic adaptation conditions in the compound eyes of the click beetle Pyrophorus punctatissimus. The bioluminescence emission of the dorsal prothoracic lanterns is deep green (lambda(max)=543nm) and that of the ventral abdominal lantern is lime green (lambda(max)=556nm) in colour in P. punctatissimus. A broad green visual receptor would detect both deep green and lime green bioluminescent optical signals.
在黑暗和红色色适应条件下，从叩头虫Pyrophorus punctatissimus复眼中获得的视网膜电图视觉光谱敏感度曲线有力地表明，存在两种光谱机制，即近紫外光和绿光（最大波长=545nm）。在Pyrophorus punctatissimus中，前胸背板背侧发光器的生物发光发射为深绿色（最大波长=543nm），腹侧腹部发光器的生物发光发射为石灰绿色（最大波长=556nm）。一个宽谱的绿色视觉感受器能够检测到深绿色和石灰绿色这两种生物发光光信号。
